Sometimes when producing advertisements and leaflets, we usually choose A5, A4 and other easy-to-collect sizes. If we want to add more information？I don’t want to make a book, how can I make one?？

There are many ways to deliver folded advertisements and leaflets to the recipients, such as placing them in crowded places for people to pick up, delivering newspapers through mailboxes, or by mail or email, etc. At this time, when deciding the size of the advertising media, it is necessary to take the sending location and sending method into consideration.

Sliding Workis one of the ways to reduce the size. In addition, works such as folding and binding can make a piece of paper have multiple sides, which is a great advantage for design. By combining different folding times and folding methods, various folding methods can be produced. Next, let us first understand the representative types of processing and grasp the characteristics of each processing method.

Fold in half (4 sides)

Will１Fold both ends of the paper relative to each other１A simple form of fold, with the fold line usually in the center.

Door fold (6 sides)

At the quartered position, fold the two ends inwards and align them with the center.

Purse fold (6 sides)

At the third equal position, fold the two ends toward the center. In terms of design, the size of the folded inside side will be slightly smaller.

Organ fold 2 bones (6 sides)

Fold it in three equal parts, one inside and one outside, also called an N-shaped fold.

Large thin edge accordion fold (6 sides)

A variation of the organ fold. After folding it in half in the center, fold two sides outward. Sometimes it is also used for pull-out pages in books.

Two ghosts beating the door (8 sides)

Fold the door in half from the center. Up to 8 sides can be formed.

Fold in half and then in half (8 sides)

First fold it in half in the center, and then fold it in half parallelly. The outward-facing side of this method is different from the double ghost door fold.

Pork intestines broken into 3 bones (8 sides)

At the quartered position, fold it inward 3 times in a row, as if rolled up.

Size adjustment to suit folding work

When producing printed files that require folding such as folded advertisements, the size of each side may need to be adjusted due to the folding method, so please pay special attention. Like an organ folded with two bones, there are no inner pages, so there is no need to adjust the size. However, if a folding method like a purse fold is used, if the page width of the inner cover page is not shortened, the edge of the inner cover page will curl during processing, causing paper wear and tear, and the finished product will lose its color. When designing printing files that require folding, it is recommended to make the design more thorough and rigorous through actual trial folding and other methods.

What kind of work is more expensive?？Relatively affordable？

In addition to basic factors such as the number of prints, the number and method of folding will also affect the cost. In principle, the more folding times and the more complex the folding method, the higher the unit price will be. In addition, if you encounter a special folding method that cannot be processed by the machine, you must do it manually, and the cost will basically increase. Please communicate with the printing factory in advance.
